Kitstone: Rooted in the Land, Designed for the Future

What if the best of rural living and modern community life could exist in one place? That’s the vision behind Kitstone, a thoughtfully planned 440-acre agrihood community taking shape in Carstairs, Alberta.

Rooted in the region’s agricultural heritage, Kitstone is designed to offer more than a place to live. With a focus on lifestyle, self-sufficiency, innovation and connection to nature, the community is envisioned as a place where people can live, work, play and grow for generations to come.

At the heart of Kitstone is The Commons, a signature 20-acre open space that will connect residents to a unique seasonal water feature and a network of parks and pathways. In total, more than 50 acres will be dedicated to parks and open spaces, creating opportunities for recreation, relaxation and everyday connection with the prairie landscape.

The community will also bring a diverse mix of housing, from townhomes and multi-family residences to villas and single-family homes. More than 1,500 new homes are anticipated at full build-out, designed to accommodate a broad range of ages, lifestyles and needs.

A distinctive architectural identity will further anchor Kitstone in its surroundings. The Kitstone Farmhouse style draws inspiration from Southern Alberta’s rural heritage, featuring simple lines, prominent gabled roofs, generous covered porches and a restrained palette of materials and colours. The result is intended to feel timeless rather than trendy—modern living with a distinctly prairie character.

But Kitstone is about more than homes. Plans include a future school site, community hall, commercial districts and more than 100 acres dedicated to light industrial, agri-industrial and innovation-focused opportunities. Together, these elements are intended to create a sustainable employment base and give residents access to many of their everyday needs close to home.

Located just 20 minutes north of Airdrie and approximately 45 minutes from downtown Calgary, Kitstone offers an appealing balance of small-town living and urban accessibility. As Carstairs continues to grow, the community is positioned to become an important part of that evolution while maintaining a strong connection to the land and the character of the region.

Now underway in Phase 1, Kitstone is already beginning to take shape, with homes, parks and pathways establishing the foundation for what promises to be a truly complete community.

For General Land & Power, the developer behind Kitstone, the vision comes down to four core values: innovation, community, creativity and legacy. And perhaps it is that final word—legacy—that best captures what makes Kitstone distinctive: a community designed not simply for today, but with an enduring connection to the land and the generations who will call it home.

A Place to Heal, A Place to Call Home

Inside the remarkable work of Isla Animals Rescue

Home means different things to different people. For the animals arriving at Isla Animals Rescue, it can mean something especially profound: safety, healing and a second chance.

Located in the Mexican Caribbean, Isla Animals rescues and cares for animals who have been abandoned, neglected, injured or left to survive on the streets. Every day brings new challenges—and occasionally, stories that even experienced rescuers and veterinarians won't soon forget.

The Cases They Won’t Forget

This summer has brought its share of extraordinary cases.

Crema, an adorable 11-year-old dog, arrived after her owner became too ill to care for her. She appeared healthy and happy—until an examination revealed something seriously wrong. An X-ray showed her bladder packed with stones.

Following emergency surgery, the team counted them.

227 bladder stones.

Thankfully, all were removed, and Crema is now recovering beautifully.

Then there's Viejita Chulita, a tiny senior dog who arrived severely anemic, suffering from ehrlichia, serious skin problems and almost no hair. Recovery has taken time, but step by step, she has grown stronger—and much fluffier.

Sometimes, the smallest changes can be the biggest victories.

Helping Before Rescue Is Needed

Rescue is only one part of Isla Animals' mission.

This summer, the organization provided almost 150 free spay and neuter surgeries for street animals, community dogs and cats, and free-roaming animals with limited access to veterinary care.

Programs like these are essential. While rescue helps animals already in need, prevention can help reduce overpopulation and prevent future generations of unwanted animals from being born on the streets.

Building a Better Home

The team is also continually improving the Isla Animals Oasis, creating a cleaner, safer and more comfortable environment for the animals in their care.

Recent improvements include new flooring and tiling, upgraded outdoor isolation areas, repairs, painting and a shaded space where both dogs and humans can escape the Caribbean sun.

Work also continues on the organization's future Sanctuary, envisioned as a quieter space for long-term residents and animals recovering before and after surgery.

A Place to Begin Again

The stories coming out of Isla Animals can be heartbreaking, but they are ultimately stories of hope.

They are stories of injured animals healing, frightened animals learning to trust and sick dogs slowly becoming healthy again.

They remind us that a home doesn't have to be perfect.

Sometimes, it simply begins with a safe place to rest, someone willing to care and the time needed to heal.

Because everyone deserves a place to call home.

House of Marvel: Where Thoughtful Design Meets Disciplined Craftsmanship

For Marvel, great renovations begin long before construction starts. Rooted in the meticulous world of custom cabinetry, the Calgary-based company has grown into a full-service renovation and construction partner, bringing together design coordination, craftsmanship and construction management under one roof.

That cabinetry background continues to shape Marvel’s approach. “Cabinetry taught us that details matter,” explains Adam Goodwin, Construction Manager at Marvel. “As projects became larger and more complex, we realized the real value wasn’t just in building well—it was in preparing properly.”

Today, much of Marvel’s work sits at the intersection of architecture, interior design and construction. Drawings are refined, scopes clarified, budgets reviewed and sequencing considered before work begins. This deliberate planning helps reduce uncertainty and allows design decisions to be evaluated against the realities of construction.

The approach is particularly valuable for kitchen and main-floor renovations, where structural changes, custom millwork, lighting, finishes and mechanical requirements all need to work together. Marvel’s experience integrating millwork into complex renovations has given the team a clear understanding of how seemingly small decisions can affect an entire project.

“We’ve learned that successful projects are rarely about one big decision,” Adam says. “They’re about hundreds of small ones being coordinated properly.”

That philosophy extends to Marvel’s relationships with clients and trades. Consistent on-site leadership, clear communication and a trusted network of trades help create a process that feels organized rather than reactive.

Transparency is another cornerstone. Detailed scopes, realistic budgeting and 3D modelling help homeowners understand what they are investing in and visualize decisions before committing to them. “Our approach is logic-based,” Adam explains. “We believe in fair, accurate and transparent pricing. When documentation is thorough and communication is clear, projects run more smoothly.”

The company’s digital platform, House of Marvel, reflects this integrated philosophy, giving clients a clearer view of how planning, design coordination and construction management come together as one cohesive process.

As Marvel continues to grow, its focus remains on capability rather than volume. The company continues to refine its systems, strengthen its trade relationships and build on the experience that has taken it from custom cabinetry to sophisticated residential renovations.

“In this industry, there’s a lot that can go wrong if details are overlooked,” Adam says. “We take the time to resolve those details early so construction can move forward with confidence.”

For Marvel, the goal is ultimately straightforward: combine thoughtful design with disciplined execution to create homes that are not only beautiful, but exceptionally well built.

“The goal is to deliver projects that are well organized, well built and leave clients feeling confident long after construction is complete.”

What’s New Spring 2026 Feature: Scandic Metals

Where precision craftsmanship meets performance and design

Pioneering premium metal roofing and cladding solutions in Alberta, Scandic Metals is redefining the role of metal as both a high-performance building material and a distinctive architectural feature.

For Vice-President and COO David Robertson, it starts with a straightforward philosophy: integrity, transparency and accountability.

“At Scandic we integrate integrity, honesty, transparency and accountability into our everyday,” says David. “Success is the result of strong communication, clear expectations and doing what we say—every time.”

Working with designers, builders, general contractors and homeowners, Scandic combines precision craftsmanship with systems engineered for Alberta’s challenging climate. The result is exterior solutions that deliver strength and longevity while bringing clean lines, seamless detailing and strong curb appeal to a wide range of architectural styles.

“Our systems are selected for their strength, longevity and clean, modern aesthetic,” David explains.

The appeal of metal has expanded significantly in recent years. Once regarded primarily as a practical exterior solution, metal roofing and cladding are increasingly being incorporated as defining elements of contemporary architecture. Designers and builders are embracing the material for its durability, minimal maintenance and distinctive visual character.

Scandic’s in-house manufacturing capabilities further strengthen its offering. By maintaining greater control over production, the company can support tighter project timelines while reducing supply-chain risk—an important advantage when schedules are critical.

“By owning the equipment to manufacture our materials, we can support tighter timelines and reduce supply chain risk,” says David.

That combination of performance, design flexibility and manufacturing control is particularly well suited to today’s custom-home market, where homeowners are seeking exteriors that are intentional, durable and visually striking.

“Custom homes are personal, high-investment projects, which is why we ensure that our homeowners and builders feel informed and supported from start to finish.”

Ultimately, Scandic Metals believes exceptional projects are built on more than quality materials. They’re built on communication, collaboration and trust.

“Above all, we believe that we are stronger together,” says David. “We genuinely value the relationships we’ve built because we know that the best results come from working together.”

Nostalgia Townlet by Jayman Homes: Life, Reimagined on the Bow

At Best Home Magazine, we’re always drawn to communities that blend design vision with a strong sense of place—and Nostalgia Townlet does exactly that. Set along the banks of the Bow River in southeast Calgary, this master-planned community captures the charm of timeless European towns while reimagining what modern urban village living can be.

Inspired by the world’s great townships, Nostalgia Townlet is built around a vibrant Main Street that twists and unfolds toward panoramic river views and welcoming public spaces. Designed in harmony with the landscape, the community reflects the rhythm of the Bow River and celebrates walkability, gathering places, and everyday connection.

Urban designer Geoff Dyer of B&A Studios helped shape a vision rooted in both history and meaning. As he explains, nostalgia isn’t simply about the past—it’s about the feeling of returning home. That philosophy guided a collaborative design process focused on honouring the land while creating a lively, people-centered town.

At the heart of the community will be a mixed-use urban district featuring shops, restaurants, and the impressive Nostalgia Club—an amenity-rich destination designed to anchor social life in the neighbourhood. With curated experiences, athletic facilities, and spaces for gathering, it’s envisioned as a central hub where lifestyle and community intersect.

Spanning roughly 350 acres and planned for about 5,800 homes, Nostalgia Townlet will introduce its first phase with Jayman’s Icona townhomes at the gateway to the neighbourhood. Tree-lined streets, nine parks, and a network of pathways will connect residents within minutes of green space, while architecture inspired by European tradition and Alberta prairie influences will create a cohesive and distinctive identity.

What sets Nostalgia apart is its balance—heritage inspiration paired with forward-thinking design. From solar-ready homes with Net Zero options to a riverside village concept that invites visitors and residents alike, it’s a community shaped not just for living, but for experiencing.

Picture Perfect! Beautiful Spaces Renovations Brings Stylish Intention to Life

A successful renovation does more than refresh a home—it reshapes how people live within it. In this standout Feature from Best Home Magazine’s Summer 2025 issue, Beautiful Spaces Renovations delivers a remodel that is equal parts luminous, thoughtful, and inspiring—proving that when design leads the way, everyday living becomes extraordinary.

Flooded with natural light and guided by a clear creative vision, the project captures what the company does best: pairing refined aesthetics with purposeful planning. From the first glance, the space feels open and optimistic—an interior that invites movement, conversation, and calm. Sunlight streams through expanded sightlines, highlighting clean finishes, carefully selected textures, and a palette that feels both modern and welcoming.

Beautiful Spaces Renovations approached the transformation with what they call stylish intention—a philosophy rooted in listening closely to how homeowners live, then crafting solutions that elevate function without sacrificing beauty. Storage is seamlessly integrated, traffic flow is intuitive, and each zone has been thoughtfully layered to feel cohesive rather than compartmentalized. The result is a home that works harder while looking effortlessly polished.

Design details play a starring role: custom millwork anchors the layout, lighting is strategically placed to enhance mood and usability, and material choices strike a balance between durability and elegance. Every decision feels deliberate—proof that great renovations are built not only on craftsmanship, but on clarity of vision.

This “Picture Perfect!” project is a reminder that the most compelling renovations don’t chase trends—they reinterpret them in ways that feel personal, bright, and enduring. Beautiful Spaces Renovations has created more than a fresh interior; they’ve delivered a home brimming with possibility.

What’s New & Different: Vipeq West

Eco-conscious design meets long-lasting performance in our Summer 2025 issue, where Vipeq West takes the spotlight for transforming exterior finishes with sustainably harvested cork. For more than a decade, the Calgary-based team has offered Alberta builders and homeowners a smarter way to enhance curb appeal while reducing environmental impact.

Their standout solution, Thermal CorkShield, is a high-performance spray-applied cork coating that creates an all-season thermal barrier, helping stabilize indoor temperatures, lower utility costs, and minimize maintenance. Naturally breathable and water-repellent, it protects against moisture while resisting mould and mildew. Fire-retardant, elastic, and designed for Canada’s extreme climates, the finish retains its colour and shape year after year.

“Our spray overlay process provides that rare opportunity where sustainability and style go hand-in-hand,” says Taylor Hudema of Vipeq West. Available in 30 rich colours and backed by a 15-year warranty, Thermal CorkShield proves that greener building choices can be just as beautiful as they are durable.
